To call up a georeferenced plate, open the Plates tab and touch the yellow aircraft symbol on the plate you want. Simple as that. You can press it again to hide the plate if you no longer need it.

I've asked a similar question in another POST

http://www.skydemon.aero/forums/Topic8437.aspx

In order to have easy and quick access to geo-referenced plates it would be nice if SD did the switching.

Just a thought

I'm still trying to figure out how these geo-referenced airfield plates work when in flight. I haven't bought a subscription to the Airfield Plates, just using the NATS AIP ones. I use a Windows CE device when in flight. Planning on my PC, sometimes on my iPad (but that's got issues which are a separate problem - see separate thread)

I've managed to call the plates up during the planning phase and they zoom in to the airfield at each end. But I still can't quite figure out how to switch to view these when in the circuit or on the ground during/after a flight. It would be nice to be able to toggle between normal map view and plate view.

Likewise, is there any documentation that explains how to call up and view approach plates, especially if you can toggle between map view and a plate easily. Does this only work on an iPad? I understand that you have to have downloaded the approach plates during the planning stage, these aren't all pre-downloaded in advance. I've achieved that separately using GoodReader and synching that to the AIP directory.

I've revisited and re-read the standard product documentation, which is pretty clear and well laid out for normal operations, but isn't clear enough for me on this feature.

Thanks Tim.

Looked at LFAT, clicked on the yellow ac symbol and hey presto. What a good system. Looking forward to having them for the UK on the Pooleys plates.

The French plates are a good example of georeferenced plates that you do not need to pay for.

Spruce,

I'm glad you have answered your own question but it hasn't helped me as I still can't find any georeferenced plates. Can you either post an idiot's guide or suggest a georeferenced plate that I can look at please.

Many thanks.

We've no plans at present to allow user-created georeferencing, that would be something you could post in the Suggestions forum though.

I would like that feature too. If not georeferenced as standard, than a little option, to do that by yourself Smile
